A messy divorce has turned way more icky.
The National Enquirer has reported that Etheridge is dating Linda Wallem, a producer on the hit show Nurse Jackie. Wallem was reportedly among those in the wedding party when Etheridge and Tammy Lynn tied the knot back in 2003, with some reports claiming that Wallem was Tammy Lynn’s “best lady” in the wedding party and BFF in real life.
The tabloid says their source told them, “Linda has been talking constantly on the set about how she and Melissa are in love and how they’re in a committed relationship.”
It’s another accusation plaguing the breakup of Etheridge and Michaels. Rumour has it the two are embroiled in a mess of financial disagreements, with Tammy Lynn alleging that Etheridge left her and their children in poverty and unable to afford food. Etheridge shot back, accusing Tammy Lynn as using the children as leverage in the divorce settlement.
Back in November of last year Etheridge was asked by US Weekly if she was dating anyone new and if she had moved on. Etheridge responded generally by saying, “Suffice it to say, I am a very happy woman. Yes.”
